  • Effects of Ski Lift Ticket Discounts on Local Tourism Demand
    Effects of ski lift ticket discounts on local tourism demand Martin Falk and Miriam Scaglione Martin Falk is Senior Abstract Research Fellow at the Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a first evaluation of the effectiveness of the early bird Austrian Institute of discount on ski lift tickets by estimating the impact on hotel overnight stays of the Saas-Fee destination. Economic Research Design/methodology/approach – The difference-in-differences (DID) approach is used to compare (WIFO) Vienna, Austria. winter sport destinations with and without the price reduction before and after the introduction of the price Miriam Scaglione is discount. The sample is composed of the 54 largest Swiss winter sport destinations for the seasons 2013/ Professor at the Institute of 2014 and 2016/2017. Tourism, University of Findings – DID estimations show an increase in overnight stays of Swiss residents by 50 per cent as Applied Sciences and Arts compared to the control group. Quantile regression estimations for the conditional upper part of the Western Switzerland – overnight stays distribution reveal a lower average treatment effect of 38 per cent. However, DID – – Valais, Sierre, Switzerland. estimates for total overnight stays (domestic and foreign) are much smaller about 17 per cent indicating that the price reductions are not effective in attracting foreign visitors. Results are not sensitive when taking into account a large number of control variables (elevation, size and snow making capacity). Research limitations/implications – As tourists visiting winter sport destinations are interested in a mix of activities, lift ticket revenues or number of skier days should be used as an alternative outcome measure.

    Urban lighting in Lech am Arlberg Municipality of Lech am Arlberg, Lech am Arlberg | AT Client: Municipality of Lech am Arlberg, Lech am Arlberg | AT Lighting design: Dieter Bartenbach, Innsbruck | AT Electrical installation: Elektro Müller GmbH & Co KG, Landeck | AT Lighting solution: Pole and façade luminaire SUPERSYSTEM outdoor, situation-specific assemblies of 6 to 34 LED tubes, central Zumtobel outdoor lighting management system with web interface Shining a light on an exclusive ski resort Nestled in an impressive mountain landscape, this world-famous ski resort stretches through the Tannberg district along the River Lech. Lech am Arlberg has a population of 1500 people, 8500 guest beds and almost one million overnight stays each year. The “most beautiful village in Europe” makes a good living from tourism, because in addition to the beautiful scenery, Lech is also known for other features, such as the ski resort, the visitors, the hosts – and most recently the new lighting concept. As was the case in many other towns and communities, the nightly townscape of Lech was previously blurred by “a mess of lights”. This effect was created by a conventional lighting system using open light luminaires. In his capacity as a process-oriented lighting consultant, Dieter Bartenbach was responsible for gaining the support of politicians, the administration and local hotel owners for the renewal of the out - side lighting facilities. The mountain river plays a key role in the new lighting solution, as the riverbank and the adjoining walls are now illuminated by targeted lighting. Visible spatial depth is created by focus - ing the light on prominent objects.
